CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that regulates nursing homes) Overall 5-star rating — a composite of Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures scores. 5 stars = top 10% nationally. 1 star = bottom 10%. The single most important number to start with when comparing facilities.
Care Types in This Table AL (Assisted Living): Housing with help for daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, without 24-hour skilled nursing. NH (Nursing Home): 24/7 skilled nursing care for residents with complex, ongoing medical needs. SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility): Round-the-clock nursing care, often for recovery after surgery, injury, or illness. MC (Memory Care): Secured, specialized care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia. RC (Respite Care): Short-term temporary care that gives family caregivers a break. IL (Independent Living): Community living with dining, activities, and transportation for active seniors who need little personal care. HOS (Hospice Care): Comfort-focused care for those with a terminal illness, prioritizing quality of life over treatment. PC (Palliative Care): Comfort-focused care for serious illness at any stage, including alongside curative treatment.
Neighborhood or city area where the facility is located. Proximity to family, hospitals, and green space matters for both quality of life and ease of visitation. Consider drive time and transit access when evaluating location.
Licensed bed capacity. Larger facilities (300+ beds) often have more specialized programs but can feel institutional. Smaller homes (under 150 beds) tend to deliver more personalized care. Compare with Avg Res/Day to understand how full the facility typically runs.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
Percentage of licensed beds filled on an average day. Color indicates financial health: green (90%+) = operationally strong, typically profitable. Amber (80–89%) = stable but leaving revenue on the table. Orange (70–79%) = financial strain likely, may struggle with fixed costs. Red (<70%) = significant distress, closure or ownership change risk increases sharply.
This facility's occupancy rate compared to the statewide average for similar facilities. A positive number means above-average demand. Facilities running 5%+ above the state average are typically the most sought-after in their market — a strong proxy for reputation.
CMS-adjusted total nurse hours per resident per day (RN + LPN + CNA combined). The national average is approximately 3.5 hrs. Higher is better — more direct care time per resident. Below 3.0 is a red flag. CMS weights RN hours more heavily because RNs handle complex clinical decisions that CNAs cannot.
CMS Health Inspection star rating (1–5 stars), based on the 3 most recent annual state surveys plus any complaint investigations. This is the hardest rating to manipulate — it reflects real surveyor findings on-site. 5 stars = fewest deficiencies found. 1 star = most. It carries the heaviest weight in the Overall CMS rating.
CMS Staffing star rating (1–5 stars), based on daily nurse staffing hours submitted to CMS via verified payroll data. Compares RN, LPN, and CNA coverage relative to resident acuity level. 5 stars = well above expected staffing. Weekend staffing is evaluated separately, as that's where many facilities quietly reduce coverage.
CMS Quality Measures star rating (1–5 stars), based on 15 clinical outcome metrics including fall rates, pressure ulcers, antipsychotic drug use, and hospital readmissions. Captures actual resident health outcomes, not just compliance. High QM combined with low Health Inspection scores can indicate a facility with strong care but weak documentation practices.
Registered Nurse hours per resident/day compared to the statewide average. RNs are the highest-skilled nursing staff — they assess residents, manage medications, and respond to emergencies. A value of +50% means RN coverage is 50% above the state norm. Negative values are a concern for residents with complex or acute medical needs.
Total nursing staff hours (RN + LPN + CNA combined) per resident/day vs. the statewide average. A broader measure than RN vs State — it captures the entire care team. A facility can have high total staffing but low RN hours, meaning more aides and fewer nurses. Read both columns together for the full picture.
Total dollar amount of federal monetary fines (civil money penalties) issued by CMS in the past 3 years. Fines are only levied for serious violations — typically actual harm to residents, repeated uncorrected deficiencies, or systemic non-compliance. Even a single fine is noteworthy. Multiple fines strongly suggest a pattern, not isolated incidents.
Total health deficiency citations from the most recent standard inspection cycle. Minor citations (scope A–C) are common and often administrative in nature. Higher counts aren't always disqualifying, but should be read alongside Severe Citations to understand actual harm levels. Under 10 is strong for a large facility; 30+ warrants a closer look.
Average deficiency citations per CMS inspection (survey) in the reporting window — total citations divided by the number of inspections. Lower is better; compare alongside total Citations and Severe Citations for context.
Citations at CMS scope/severity level G or higher — G–I means actual harm occurred; J–L means residents were placed in immediate jeopardy. (D–F is potential for harm only). Examples include unaddressed falls, medication errors causing injury, neglect, or abuse.
Average number of residents in the building on any given day, derived from annual census data. Reflects true operating scale — a 400-bed facility running 200 residents/day operates very differently from one at 390. Higher resident counts generally mean more funded staffing hours.
Better Business Bureau rating (A+ to F). Reflects complaint history, business transparency, and how family disputes were resolved. A+ means no significant unresolved complaints. A blank (—) means the facility isn't BBB-accredited, which is common for healthcare providers and not necessarily a negative signal.
Walk Score® (0–100). Measures walkability of the surrounding area. 90–100 = Walker's Paradise. 70–89 = Very Walkable. 50–69 = Somewhat Walkable. Below 50 = Car-Dependent. Higher scores benefit family visitors, resident outings, and staff commuting.
The licensed owner or operator of record filed with CMS — the individual or organization legally accountable for the facility. Searching the operator name across other facilities can reveal chain or multi-site ownership, which matters: chain-operated homes tend to have more variable quality outcomes than independently run facilities.
What the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts — not gross billings. Taken from the latest complete annual cost report, so it is comparable across homes reporting the same period. Revenue alone doesn't indicate care quality, but it funds staffing and capital reinvestment. Pair with Payroll %. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Staff salaries plus wage-related benefits from the latest complete annual cost report. Contract and agency labour is counted separately, under other operating costs, so a home leaning on agency staff can show a low figure here. Payroll is the cost most directly tied to care quality — compare with Payroll % for full context. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Payroll as a share of NET PATIENT REVENUE (not gross revenue). Both figures come from the same cost-report year. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay. Read with the Staffing star rating to judge whether spend translates into coverage — and note that homes whose patient revenue covers only part of their operation can read implausibly high. The Missouri average is: 54.9% Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.

Overview of New Haven Care Center

New Haven Care Center provides nursing home, assisted living, hospice care, respite care, and skilled nursing in New Haven, MO. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care around the clock, while assisted living helps residents with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication. Hospice care provides end of life support, and respite care offers short stays for someone whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Having several care types in one community can suit a resident whose needs change over time, including someone who may move from assisted living to more intensive nursing care. New Haven Care Center also offers long term care, short term rehabilitation, outpatient rehabilitation, and therapy services, giving residents access to ongoing support or rehabilitation related to recovery. The community opened in 1983.

The home has 106 beds and a 65% occupancy rate, meaning it is not filled to its total bed capacity. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 40 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nursing time allocated to each resident. Payment options are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

Programs include pain management, podiatry, optometry, dental services, New Haven Hospice, nursing services, and therapy services, covering comfort, foot, vision, dental, end of life, nursing, and rehabilitation needs through the community’s offerings. A salon and spa provide personal grooming services within the community. A Walk Score of 31 out of 100 places the area in a car dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride, including for a resident who no longer drives.

Charles Tritch serves as the administrator. New Haven Care Center may be a good fit for a resident whose care needs could grow over time or for a family seeking short term respite care.

Columbia Post Acute

3535 Berrywood Drive, Columbia, MO 65201-6584
Overview of Columbia Post Acute

Skilled nursing and nursing home care are what Columbia Post Acute runs in Columbia, MO. Licensed nurses staff the building at any hour you name. Rehabilitation services support recovery, and outpatient therapy is the piece that keeps working after a resident has already gone home.

That pairing fits a person needing both the skilled care and the therapy. There are 70 beds, and Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay all cover care.

Nursing holds at 3 hours and 56 minutes per resident daily. Christopher McClain holds the administrator post.

Private bathrooms give each resident bathing space of their own. A salon on site handles grooming without an outside appointment. Activities are named rather than left general: bingo, arts and crafts, live entertainment, and outdoor activities.

Overview of Daybreak Nursing Center

Daybreak Nursing Center is a nursing home in Sikeston, Missouri, offering assisted living, hospice care, palliative care, respite care, nursing care, and skilled nursing. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication. Hospice care centers on comfort focused support, and palliative care addresses comfort and symptom relief for people with serious illness.

Respite care is available for short stays, which can suit a family caregiver who needs coverage while traveling or recovering. The combination of care levels may be a good fit for a resident whose needs grow over time. Daybreak Nursing Center has 70 beds and 94% occupancy, meaning most of its beds are in use.

Programs include Companionship, Day to Day Assisting, Nursing/assisted living Sitting, and Post Surgery Care/Hospital Sitting. Together, these provide support with companionship, daily tasks, sitting needs, and post surgery or hospital stays. Total nurse staffing is 3h 3m per resident per day, representing the daily amount of nurse staffing time allocated per resident. Payment options are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. A Walk Score of 73 places the area in the very walkable band, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently. Nancy Driskill serves as the administrator.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Missouri

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Missouri?

Assisted living in Missouri is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Missouri Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Missouri Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 301 nursing homes in Missouri. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home in Missouri?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Missouri, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting nursing homes in Missouri?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
